Military COOL Program

We are proud to support U.S. Military personnel by participating in the Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL) and the Credentialing Assistance (CA) programs.

Building and Leading Resilient Teams that can work together in a challenging environment is a core competency for military leaders. Eligibility and funding criteria are determined by each military service.

Military service members can earn their leadership certification no matter where they are stationed globally. Our certification exams are conducted online. Our Authorized Education and Training Partners also offer instructor-led online exam prep training.
